Creating a custom plugin
You can find information about creating a custom plugin as part of implementing user-defined access in a credential management system.
You must be familiar with implementing Java interfaces and building an executable JAR file.
You must create a custom plugin.xml file in which you must ensure
the following conditions are satisfied:
- The extension point is specified as com.ghc.passwordProvider.
- The PasswordProviderFactory.java interface must be provided as the value of the factoryClass.
Refer to the following example for the guidance on creating the
plugin.xml
file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.2"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="com.ghc.passwordProvider">
<passwordProviderFactory
factoryClass="com.ghc.password.provider.file.FilePasswordProviderFactory"
id="file"
label="File">
</passwordProviderFactory>
</extension>
</plugin>
The values that you specify for the following attributes are used by
Rational® Integration
Tester to be displayed in the
specific UI that was specified in the PasswordProviderGUI.java
interface.
